Has the EU abandoned human rights in #Tunisia? @VonDerLeyen @DubravkaSuica @KajaKallas: #EU's silence betrays those fighting for democracy in Tunisia & EU's own principles. My colleague Bassam Khawaja's take in @EUObs 👇 euobserver.com/migration/ar72…

#Syria’s post-Assad moment was a chance to turn the page on politicized aid. But recycled restrictions are creeping back in. The transitional government should prioritize access, not control. 👇 hrw.org/news/2025/05/1…

Israel's blockade has become a tool of extermination. New govt plan would amount to an abhorrent escalation of crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing & acts of genocide. The US, UK & Germany could be liable for failing to prevent genocide. New from Human Rights Watch hrw.org/news/2025/05/1…

My U.S. News & World Report op-ed on UN funding crisis: "How to Save the UN from #Trump; Washington is withholding billions of dollars it owes the UN. Europe must step in & lead."

El Salvador, so far, this month: A leading human rights lawyer is arrested 7 journalists flee the country fearing arrest A peaceful protest is repressed President proposes a "foreign agents" law 16 bus company owners arrested, one dead ... Sounds a lot like Nicaragua to me.

EU ministers discussing the 🇪🇺-🇮🇱 Association Agreement today should reflect on how a mere "credible threat" brought some (if far too little) aid into Gaza Think of how many lives they could have saved. And how many more they still can, if they act 👉🏽thenationalnews.com/news/europe/20…

While 🇪🇺 Foreign Ministers meet next door, standing ovation for Philippe Lazzarini at #EHF2025, who makes clear that suffering in #Gaza is “beyond imagination.” Accepting this reality & prevailing impunity risks setting a dangerous new norm far beyond the context. #EU must act. Now.👇🏼

#BREAKING: At long last, the EU has agreed to officially launch a review of the 🇪🇺-🇮🇱 Association Agreement - the first concrete measure taken by the bloc to address #Israel's atrocity crimes in #Gaza, and the impunity on which they’ve thrived. 1/5 🧵 euronews.com/my-europe/2025…

#ElSalvador: The arrest of Ruth López, Anti-Corruption Director at Cristosal, a leading human rights organization, marks a troubling escalation in silencing critics. The international community must speak out against #Bukele’s authoritarian crackdown. 👇hrw.org/news/2025/05/2…

After deliberately blocking humanitarian assistance from entering Gaza for 78 days, Israel has begun allowing in a “basic amount” of aid. Israeli authorities’ blockade and use of starvation of civilians as a weapon of war amounts to war crimes and acts of genocide.

Tomorrow, the German city of Aachen honors EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen w/ Karlspreis award for her "impetus" for the EU Green Deal. ‼️But Ursula von der Leyen is now dismantling the Green Deal, incl the EU supply chains law on rights & environment. hrw.org/news/2025/05/2…

Heute haben sich CDU·CSU SPD-Fraktion im Bundestag MdBs für eine EU-Regelung zu Menschenrechten & Umwelt in Lieferketten ausgesprochen. Das ist gut. Aber werden sie das EU-Gesetz #CSDDD von 2024 verteidigen, das nun in Gefahr ist? 📣Appell an @Bundeskanzler Merz : lieferkettengesetz.de/lieferkettenge…

Trump’s sanctions on ICC judges aim to deter the ICC from seeking accountability amid grave crimes in Israel & Palestine, and as Israeli atrocities mount in Gaza, incl. w/ US complicity. They're a blatant attack on rule of law. Ursula von der Leyen Kaja Kallas Michael McGrath time to act!

🇭🇹Given #Haiti's multidimensional crisis—including widespread human rights abuses and political instability—the latest US travel ban on Haitian citizens will have devastating consequences. The US should be expanding protections, not condemning people at risk to greater harm.
